There comes a time when most kids graduate from watching cartoons to listening to music. For me, that happened in the late 60′s and early 70′s. There was one man that helped me make that transition and that was Dick Clark. Everyday Saturday after the cartoons were over, “American Bandstand” was a show I never missed. On that show you could see what songs were popular that week, see your favorite rock and roll stars and watch teenagers dance to the top hits of the day.
